I mean, all they're proving is what complete tossers they are. Well over 400 aren't cheating any more so it's not so many any more. And never trust anyone else to file the report.

Speaking about this can you tell the proportion of banned players by used game modes ? For the banned ones playing exclusively a game mode, if possible of course. I rarely see such stuff in AB beside once a very suspicious kill across the map while leaving my spawn on Advance to the Rhine urban map where it was impossible to see me and yet he managed to kill me passing his shot across the map before passing through a building and killing me, there was no way for him to have seen me even once from where he was... I'm curious about the proportion of cheaters vs game modes. Keep it up, cheaters are ruining the fun for others, they are a plague that needs to be eradicated of online gaming, glad to see Gaijin taking serious measures for this.

When I'm waiting somewhere with my gun aimed at the side where the enemy should come from I check my surroundings every 5-7 seconds with 360 camera view (and abusing 3rd person view too sometimes). If someone comes up behind me I try to react as fast as possible. I'm sure I'm not the only one that does that, so I won't call it cheating necessarily.

If I report this guy would You be able to check if he was using some sort of auto-aim post factum? Last sunday I was accused of cheating as well. I was on Advance to the Rhine and had my Wirbelwind in great cover with an excellent view of the sky and my surroundings. I saw the dust and smoke of muzzle fire and not long after that a Sherman passed directly in front of me. I got him right in the flank and made short work of him. Not long after that a plane came in my direction and circled over my location as if he was looking for something, I took my time to aim and a short burst made an end to the pilots ambitions as wel, it was the same guy, not a while later I heard, and I have an excellent home cinema, 7.1 and professionally calibrated as well, so I heard a vehicle sneaking around the stacks of rubble surrounding my position, I quickly changed ammo and turned my turret towards the sound, and there he (same guy) came around the corner to be greeted by four blazing barrels in his light tank. After that he came on the chat accusing me of using a cheat, remember I'm on PS4, or I was hacking, whatever. Had a great laugh. But I heard his vehicle, so I knew which side to turn to before he was out of cover. That could have happened in your case as well. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway,for more safety and to avoid innocent casualties I recommend your algorithm would only make automatic report of a player's suspicious behavior,and it will be a Game Master's job to check the situation on server replay and judge it it's hack or not.

SkyKnight2014 108 Report post Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) Hello all, Personally, I have always been an advocate for community modding as long as the developers or game title owner agrees and there are rules to be guided by or else it just becomes rigid for a growing community or fan base that desires to have fun. However, as a business and also in fairness to other paying customers a mod that is specifically created or developed to gain on points systems or cheats to gain prizes etc would be one of the Rule Breaking Guidelines I would implement to stop such activity. By not respecting a community following fan base and the IP/EULA of the game title and "Proper Modding Rules" or the fact that we are just enjoying a fair game like CHESS as an example and we all want "Fair Play" should be a BAN in this case. There are many games that you can mod and share your mods legally following proper rules and adhering to IP/EULA's...... I.e. ED-DCS FSX XPlane Prepar3D.......etc Are but only a few examples that people contribute and share good work and also help build a better community following as long as all parties are in agreement and there is some measures of controlling and Modding Rules and Guidelines to follow for any willing community member. So my hope is the War Thunder Legal and Developers would consider and never shut the door completely and consider how to help this area that builds a community. Some ideas of my own would be to have a moderated section and developer tools where people can enjoy their projects as Rules and Guidelines are followed. I'm unsure what mods exist out there now since I really started to venture in Forum posting allot more recently out of interest, share and have fun. Although to start on a clean slate as per say and allow something special for community involvement is always a good thing like ............ Skins, Aircraft, Buildings, Maps, Tanks even programs that assist in developing tools and make modding even easier. There is another game I enjoy its a "AAA" tilte they shut the door on modding and people have left and its become boring and void of any fun or community. That is not good when you consider a long community following since the beginning supporting the game in many ways that has made complaints and no longer follow the game. Yeah, sure new comers come along, but the fact that you lose the original fan base after 20 years in development is not fair to a loyal group who have purchased the game and add-ons and assisted in developing the game through Forum input and the use of social media to promote the game further. There is always a way to work around the problems with solutions and community input, and not just close the door on the situation because it's too much effort or attention. This would really be up to War Thunder people but there not many combat games around as big as War Thunder attracting all age groups. Well I felt it should be said in hope of a better community and game development, Cheers Edited February 3, 2017 by SkyKnight2014 Grammar Spelling ........

The point we are trying to make now is that the latest , can I say , organic system in place, should alleviate the need to report as it will auto detect them more efficiently than the previous checker, however, reports are always good and can lead to a feel good factor for you when reporting them and seeing a ban. 2 hours ago, SkyKnight2014 said: Hello all, Personally, I have always been an advocate for community modding as long as the developers or game title owner agrees and there are rules to be guided by or else it just becomes rigid for a growing community or fan base that desires to have fun. Community modding has and is high on the development list of priorities - but yes it does bring some negative consequences. We will continue to do what we can for you guys as we really enjoy player content and participation. It is worth noting however, that games that do not involve competitive play (FSX, X-Plane, etc) do not require the same governing of add-ons created by the community, these are simply games that you gain little by cheating (if anything), so I hope you understand what I mean. 3 hours ago, MasterBLB said: Though I wholeheartedly agree those hacking scumbags have to be banned without any mercy I'm afraid such automated system simply won't work reliable enough to allow it to punish players on its own.Take a look at this situation: Deleted video Is your algorithm smart enough to recognize that situation?I'm afraid it isn't,but maybe I'm wrong - Gaijin programmers have proven they can create amazing 3D engine which works on various platforms,so maybe they can also do amazing hack detection soft.If they indeed can then it'll be just damn awesome,as War Thunder is not far from being best online game about tanks and airplanes.

There is still a process, that has also proved worthy of the previous auto/manual investigation via replay reports. This isnt going away and allows us to continue to minimise any false positives. Its only drawback is time. Removed the attached vid as it still contravenes what we believe. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Anton himself has acknowledged that - though unconnected with the mechanism for cheat detection, these bugs are to be given some priority as obviously the perception is incorrectly assumed to be in relation to the cheat system. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm rather experienced player, and I can tell the difference between player with good awareness, and player that had literally no chance of seeing me. If I report this guy would You be able to check if he was using some sort of auto-aim post factum? Last sunday I was accused of cheating as well. I was on Advance to the Rhine and had my Wirbelwind in great cover with an excellent view of the sky and my surroundings. I saw the dust and smoke of muzzle fire and not long after that a Sherman passed directly in front of me. I got him right in the flank and made short work of him. Not long after that a plane came in my direction and circled over my location as if he was looking for something, I took my time to aim and a short burst made an end to the pilots ambitions as wel, it was the same guy, not a while later I heard, and I have an excellent home cinema, 7.1 and professionally calibrated as well, so I heard a vehicle sneaking around the stacks of rubble surrounding my position, I quickly changed ammo and turned my turret towards the sound, and there he (same guy) came around the corner to be greeted by four blazing barrels in his light tank. After that he came on the chat accusing me of using a cheat, remember I'm on PS4, or I was hacking, whatever. Had a great laugh. But I heard his vehicle, so I knew which side to turn to before he was out of cover. That could have happened in your case as well. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, barring statistics...GJ just got rid of 440 cheaters plain and simple...can't we just thank them for doing it, and always trying to improve...440 off the grid that deserve what they got...I say that's plenty...great job Gaijin. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterBLB 3,764 Report post Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) hough I wholeheartedly agree those hacking scumbags have to be banned without any mercy I'm afraid such automated system simply won't work reliable enough to allow it to punish players on its own.Take a look at this situation - dude is not hacking,but from his victim's perspective it could be found as wallhack (while it isn't): <search MagzTV's video "Not a Wallhack",not linking it here because mods found it as inappropriate> Is your algorithm smart enough to recognize that situation?I'm afraid it isn't,but maybe I'm wrong - Gaijin programmers have proven they can create amazing 3D engine which works on various platforms,so maybe they can also do amazing hack detection soft.If they indeed can then it'll be just damn awesome,as War Thunder is not far from being best online game about tanks and airplanes. Anyway,for more safety and to avoid innocent casualties I recommend your algorithm would only make automatic report of a player's suspicious behavior,and it will be a Game Master's job to check the situation on server replay and judge it it's hack or not.

SkyKnight2014 108 Report post Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) Hello all, Personally, I have always been an advocate for community modding as long as the developers or game title owner agrees and there are rules to be guided by or else it just becomes rigid for a growing community or fan base that desires to have fun. However, as a business and also in fairness to other paying customers a mod that is specifically created or developed to gain on points systems or cheats to gain prizes etc would be one of the Rule Breaking Guidelines I would implement to stop such activity. By not respecting a community following fan base and the IP/EULA of the game title and "Proper Modding Rules" or the fact that we are just enjoying a fair game like CHESS as an example and we all want "Fair Play" should be a BAN in this case. There are many games that you can mod and share your mods legally following proper rules and adhering to IP/EULA's...... I.e. ED-DCS FSX XPlane Prepar3D.......etc Are but only a few examples that people contribute and share good work and also help build a better community following as long as all parties are in agreement and there is some measures of controlling and Modding Rules and Guidelines to follow for any willing community member. So my hope is the War Thunder Legal and Developers would consider and never shut the door completely and consider how to help this area that builds a community. Some ideas of my own would be to have a moderated section and developer tools where people can enjoy their projects as Rules and Guidelines are followed. I'm unsure what mods exist out there now since I really started to venture in Forum posting allot more recently out of interest, share and have fun. Although to start on a clean slate as per say and allow something special for community involvement is always a good thing like ............ Skins, Aircraft, Buildings, Maps, Tanks even programs that assist in developing tools and make modding even easier. There is another game I enjoy its a "AAA" tilte they shut the door on modding and people have left and its become boring and void of any fun or community. That is not good when you consider a long community following since the beginning supporting the game in many ways that has made complaints and no longer follow the game. Yeah, sure new comers come along, but the fact that you lose the original fan base after 20 years in development is not fair to a loyal group who have purchased the game and add-ons and assisted in developing the game through Forum input and the use of social media to promote the game further. There is always a way to work around the problems with solutions and community input, and not just close the door on the situation because it's too much effort or attention. This would really be up to War Thunder people but there not many combat games around as big as War Thunder attracting all age groups. Well I felt it should be said in hope of a better community and game development, Cheers Edited February 3, 2017 by SkyKnight2014 Grammar Spelling ........ Sleeeepyyy ....... tired 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarper 45,517 Report post Posted February 3, 2017 5 hours ago, Godman_82 said: I'm taking everything under consideration, and I'm talking about situations like: I'm near Your spawn, You are on the center of the map, aiming at the position You expecting my team should be. You obviously have no idea I'm here, otherwise You would not stay there and wait for opponents. I'm moving from behind my cover just as much as I need, and then You turn around and move You tank. Sometimes I'm watching server replays, but not always, sometimes I'm just curious "was it aimbot", but after a battle I'm forgetting it. Maybe I shouldn't. I'll try to pay more attention and get back to those situations after a battle. You know, it's most irritating when You lose because of suspicious behavior. If You win (I mean kill the tank), it's easy to go "meh, he lost anyway". The point we are trying to make now is that the latest , can I say , organic system in place, should alleviate the need to report as it will auto detect them more efficiently than the previous checker, however, reports are always good and can lead to a feel good factor for you when reporting them and seeing a ban. 2 hours ago, SkyKnight2014 said: Hello all, Personally, I have always been an advocate for community modding as long as the developers or game title owner agrees and there are rules to be guided by or else it just becomes rigid for a growing community or fan base that desires to have fun. Community modding has and is high on the development list of priorities - but yes it does bring some negative consequences. We will continue to do what we can for you guys as we really enjoy player content and participation. It is worth noting however, that games that do not involve competitive play (FSX, X-Plane, etc) do not require the same governing of add-ons created by the community, these are simply games that you gain little by cheating (if anything), so I hope you understand what I mean. 3 hours ago, MasterBLB said: Though I wholeheartedly agree those hacking scumbags have to be banned without any mercy I'm afraid such automated system simply won't work reliable enough to allow it to punish players on its own.Take a look at this situation: Deleted video Is your algorithm smart enough to recognize that situation?I'm afraid it isn't,but maybe I'm wrong - Gaijin programmers have proven they can create amazing 3D engine which works on various platforms,so maybe they can also do amazing hack detection soft.If they indeed can then it'll be just damn awesome,as War Thunder is not far from being best online game about tanks and airplanes.

There is still a process, that has also proved worthy of the previous auto/manual investigation via replay reports. This isnt going away and allows us to continue to minimise any false positives. Its only drawback is time. Removed the attached vid as it still contravenes what we believe. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Technical Moderator LordMustang 7,405 Report post Posted February 3, 2017 @Scarper Will there be any tweaking to the "Potentially visible set" algorithms? Currently playing on big maps is nearly impossible because of tanks frequently disappearing and reappearing again. Now that there are better systems in place, can't Gaijin loosen the algorithm a bit as to how it was pre-1.65? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Anton himself has acknowledged that - though unconnected with the mechanism for cheat detection, these bugs are to be given some priority as obviously the perception is incorrectly assumed to be in relation to the cheat system. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no need to record and post replays with gameplay of players you suspect for using 3rd party apps. We will appreciate if you report them via server replay functionality on our main website.
